THE advertisement of the Buckeye store reappears in our columns, after a long absence. The oooaaion for this return is to let tbe lady readers of The Mail know of the bargains there offered on goods damaged by the recent fire. This slight damage is principally from

smoke, and does not injury the goods in the least. MKMLYA WATSO.V, of the National House, have purchased tbe .£tna House, at Danville, Ills. It is the leading hotel up there, furnished through* out in first clam style. Messrs Heinly and Watson will take turns in conducting the jfitna House, both retaining their interest in the National here. They are experienced hotel men, and will give our Danville neighbors a hotel that they may be proud of. Mr. Heinly is now in Danville putting things in order.

Esq. Qnigley, and in default of bail was sent to jail to await the action of the grand jury. Spear has a family on Thir teenth street, and claims that be was drunk when caught*

Strough Is a blooming widow of thirty and knows bow to take care of herself. One day the early part of this month George said he would marry Martha in December. He changed his mind the other day and concluded to take a trip to Germany, and so informed his Intended bride. Forthwith she filed her complaint in the Circuit Oourt for breach of promise, claiming 16,000 tor the damage done her heart. This proceeding brought tiie gay deceiver to time and on Tuesday he caused the toll to be dismissed by marrying the plaintiff. It is te be hoped that "all's weU that end well."

JOSEPH BILBY and Benjamin F. Per kins were arrested Wednesday Bight charged with tbe murder of A. C, Mat tox, on the night of the 2d of May, 1677. Bllby is a teamster, residing on north 13tb street, and Perkins is a laborer working for Jobn Ross, on First street, Tbe testimony against these men priudpslly that of the wife of Perkins whose character is such as to need other evidence when the case comes to trial Sbe hss twice before had ber huBbaud arrested, but weakened when she was called before the grand jury. She now charges Bilby with being the murderer and ker husband an accessory. Bilby claims tbst he was in Texas three onths before the homicide and remain ed there one year. Tbe sheriff was no doubt justified in making tho arrest, but there does notsppesrto be sufficient evidence on which to base a strong hope that the real murderers are i«t custody and will suffer for their terrible crime

Since tbe above was printed in The Mail's first edition, tbe arrested men have been discharged, the evi dence not being deemed sufficient to hold them.

W* were compelled to withdraw our advertisement from tbe Evening Gazette, owing to the harvest we reaped from our past noticea of oloaing out this stock. During our withdrawal from print, a very kind fellow citizen in our trade took tbe paina of circulating the report that "Boas Joe" was desd, tbst he bad gone to Leadville, Ac. This be tells with a hyena grin, but it sours on him. Onward we move, and the ilgbt of commercial prosperity most assuredly awaits us, tbe cause being tbe full determination, at all times and under all circumstances, never to let our stock remain on band, but to sell everything regardless of cost rather than move tbe same. We place on sale to-day 660 Canadian "Keyo" Overcoats "For Men" $1.75. These coats will cost veu in less than thirty days $4.50. We place on sale to-day several hundred suits of clothing for men made by the celebrated bouse of Hamgnerslougb Bros., New York, and purchased of them as a job for $3.50 to $4.50 in three different styles snd are made of good, warm material. We would also call attention tbe large line of fine all wool casslmere and cheviot suits we are offering now at 910 and $12.50 per suit considered by all who have seen them, the best bsrgains offered in Terre Haute.
